I can help you finding it :stuck_out_tongue:

Well then,
I managed to ditch the problematic pass while retaining the old features. Performances should not be impacted at 1920x1080 and may be a bit higher when going up with resolution, but not much.

If the problem noted by guest.r was the only one preventing koko-aio from running on d3d11, that change should be enough to make it run.

awesome. i’ll check it out and let you knw :call_me_hand:

is this going to be implemented in a future retroarch build or is your github updated? whats the best way to test this out?

see first post, grab the development archive and unpack it somewhere in the existing slang shaders folder. It will make its way in the official shaders when a new stable release will be issued.

Since I’m thinking to release a new stable soon, have you tried to run it?

I unpacked the development .zip in the first post. Dropped the contents into the RetroArch directory…

Tested SNES on bsnes and Genesis on Genesis Plus GX

Got the same ‘Failed to apply shader preset:’ as before. Hope this info is helpful.

#204

weird, at least we tried…

#205

thx for trying to find a solution bro. I’m around if you need someone to test somethn out on the Series S :+1:

#206

Love these shaders. I know it’s for Tv/Monitor, but any chance of Tate version for vertical arcade games?

Cheers

Do you have problems with rotated games? If auto detection isn’t working for you, and it may happen with cores different from mame 2003 plus or fbneo, try to force 3/4 aspect ratio in the shader options.

#208

Will give 3/4 a go. Thanks.

If you pick up the koko-aio shaders from Github, you need to move the presets from the presets directory into the main directory. Then you need to correct the two BASE slangp’s in the first line (delete the … because they are now in the main directory). Then they work.

#211

I can confirm from recent tests that Mame (current) rotates differently than MAME2003 and FBNeo

#212

Quick question to @kokoko3k as regards koko-aio.slangp: If I do not want that the background artwork or the foreground artwork is repeated if the retroarch window size is larger … is there an alternative option to:
bg_under_wrap_mode = “mirrored_repeat”
bg_over_wrap_mode = “mirrored_repeat” ?
Because with Arcade Artwork as background/foreground, it would look nicer if the artwork just ends, but it not mirrored. Thanks!

#213

…ends how? Border color? Black?

No way other than what you mentioned by now.

Maybe if i clamp the coordinates in the shader, I can make it repeat just the border (single pixel) without to much complexity added to the shader, that is screaming for mercy :slight_smile:

Would it be right for your use case? It would require the background to have a little black outline.

#214

Nope, it is not necessary to edit anything; it just work as is.

Also, @MIKEBLK, yesterday i tested under d3d11 and it worked well; so either xboxs d3d11 is different from windows one, or you did some mistake trying it.

#215

To have a black border that repeats itself would be a nice thing to try! :smiley:

#216

That is a bit more complex, but i’ll think to something light anyway.

Meanwhile, what if it repeats the border color and you prior add a thin black outline with a paint program to the image instead?

#217

Sorry, that‘s what I meant anyways: Adding a black border to the artwork, which is then repeated. That would be perfect and of course worth the small effort! And of course trying out other colors as well… On my part, if this works, no further efforts required …
